HANDLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 12, 1906.

Application filed November 18, 1905. Serial No. 237,951.

To to whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MASOH- MEYER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State ofMaine, have invented new and useful Improvements in Handles, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in handles for receptacles forcontaining hot liquids, and more particularly relates to means forinsulating the handle, so as to prevent the transmission of heat fromthe receptacle to the handle, and it relates more particularly to animprovement on the invention described in Letters Patent No. 485,846,dated November 8, 1892, issued to me, in which the handle is insulatedfrom the'receptacle by non-metallic inserts held in place by non-metallic bonds with roughened surfaces. In actual practice it is foundthat where the bond and the inserts are of non-metallic material it iswell nigh impossible to fuse the metal of the handle around the insertand bond so as to make a tight joint, the handle part working loose andthe non-metallic bond being liable to be broken.

The object of my invention is to overcome these objections.

In the drawings herewith accompanying and making a part of thisapplication, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a receptacle with myimproved handle applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ofthe handle, showing the insulating-inserts and metallic bonds, one insection and the other in elevation; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of thenon-metallic insert.

In said drawings, A represents any form of receptacle. The handle iscomposed ofthe parts B B, joined to the receptacle in any convenientway, and C the hand portion proper of the handle. Inserted between theparts B B and G are non-heat-conducting inserts D. The parts of thehandle B B and C and the inserts D are bonded together by metallic bondshaving an attenuated body part E, with enlarged ends F.

In the process of manufacture the inserts, with the bonds, are placed ina suitable mold and the metal flowed against the inserts and around thebonds, the metal forming a strong unionbetween the sections of thehandle and the bonds, thus holding the sections of the handle closelyagainst the insert. The inserts may be provided on either side withindents G, into which the metal flows during the process of forming upthe handle, thus preventing any rotary movement of the insert relativeto the handle. It is found in actual experience that the long attenuatedbody portion of the bond, although a conductor of heat, is insufficientto conduct heat enough to the hand portion of the handle to be at allobjectionable.

Having thus described my invention and its use, I claim A handle forreceptacles consisting of attachment-sections, a hand-section,insulating-inserts between the adjacent ends of the sections and ametallic bond having an attenuated body portion and enlarged ends, thebody portion passing through the insert and the enlarged ends embeddedin the metal of the section.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, inpresence of two subscribing witnesses, this 14th day of November, 1905.
